How do I use blender's built in HDRI's? I can see their effect in the viewport and I like it, but when I render, it only uses the other lights I have manually added. I have circled where I am getting the HDRI from.

Thanks for any help! enter image description here

  • Does this answer your question? How to use 2.8's default HDRi's in renders? – Emir Nov 17 '20 at 18:09
  • It kind of does, but I don't actually want the hdri environment to show in the render, just the lighting that results from it... Does that make sense I just want it to render as it looks in the viewport – Brady Leavell Nov 17 '20 at 18:17
  • Go to render properties > Film > Transparent – Emir Nov 17 '20 at 18:22

  • Alright that's what I need! the only problem is I can't find the installation directory... How do I acces that? It says they are under C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\datafiles\studiolights\world but I don't see that anywhere – Brady Leavell Nov 17 '20 at 18:33
  • "Old" question.. so maybe it is not 2.80 now but your current blender's version (2.90, maybe): change it in the file path. For 2.90, would be: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.90\2.90\datafiles\studiolights\world or around that depending on the way program is installed for you – lemon Nov 17 '20 at 18:34
  • How do I access that file path though? Lol, I literally have no idea... Thanks for your help and patience haha – Brady Leavell Nov 17 '20 at 18:45
  • Well... navigate progressively in your directories from c:/program files, etc... – lemon Nov 17 '20 at 18:51
  • That's the problem, nothing comes up when I start with C:/ so I figured I must be looking in the wrong place lol. I'm on macOS if that makes a difference... – Brady Leavell Nov 17 '20 at 18:53
  • ok, I cannot help you for macOS... : ( – lemon Nov 17 '20 at 18:54

    I actually just got it with some help from my dad lol, thanks again for the link, that's exactly what I needed!! – Brady Leavell Nov 17 '20 at 18:55
  • The base path for macOS should be /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender. – Robert Gützkow Nov 17 '20 at 20:22
